Why you’ll love Emsella® for urinary incontinence
Non-surgical
Emsella® uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology (HIFEM®) in an almost ‘touchless’ procedure. No invasive vaginoplasty is needed
Non-medicinal
Emsella® requires no medication or injections before, during or after treatments. This can lower the chance of side effects, compared to other solutions.
Quick treatments
Emsella® requires about 30 minutes per treatment. Since you are fully clothed during the process, minimal prep or aftercare steps are needed.
Clinically-studied results:
64% of study subjects experienced improved urinary incontinence.
Researchers noted 57% fewer hygiene pads, on average.
Emsella® is measured to be 7x more effective than Kegel exercises.
The HIFEM® technology behind Emsella® was found to be more effective than electromyography (EMG) (i.e. electrical stimulation), for strengthening pelvic floor muscles.
How does Emsella® work?
Emsella® addresses weak pelvic floor muscles by inducing contractions to help strengthen those muscles.
Weak pelvic sphincter muscles have a hard time ‘squeezing’ shut, to hold in urine. This can lead to urinary incontinence. Muscle weakening can happen due to:
- Neurological disorders (e.g. diabetes, multiple sclerosis)
- Bladder infections
- Constipation
- Obesity or weight gain
- Childbirth
- Menopause
- Medication side-effects
- Pelvic organ prolapse
- Surgeries in the pelvic region
And so on.
While Kegel exercises are sometimes recommended, they are time-consuming and, some would say, uncomfortable.
The Emsella® chair delivers electromagnetic ‘waves’ to the pelvic region. It causes more than 11,000 muscle contractions in 28 minutes.
Thus, it provides a fast, painless way to bring control back to pelvic muscles.
Patients are fully clothed during an Emsella® treatment.

How many Emsella® treatments are required to see results?
We recommend starting with six Emsella® treatments, scheduled twice a week for three weeks.
An additional four treatments may be recommended, scheduled about once per month, to strengthen initial results.
You may notice a difference after one treatment. Results continue improving over a few weeks. A doctor may recommend that you continue with Kegel exercises to maintain optimal results.
Thereafter, ongoing maintenance treatments may be required.
You will remain fully clothed during an Emsella® treatment.
What are Emsella® treatments like? Do they hurt?
Emsella® treatments are almost painless.
Initially, you may feel a tingling sensation as your muscles contract and relax during the treatment. This can be surprising at first. However, patients typically get used to the sensation quickly.
You will find you can even read a book while undergoing treatments!
Are there contraindications with Emsella®?
Those with electronic or metal implants will not be eligible for treatment with Emsella®.
If you are pregnant, or trying to get pregnant, you should not undergo an Emsella® treatment.
Is there downtime with Emsella®? What about side effects?
Patients who undergo Emsella® treatments can go back to their normal activities right away.
Given that muscles contract a lot during the treatment, it is possible to experience aches, spasms or redness in the treatment area. These symptoms are temporary.
